Override a decision in part that's not working (4)
I believe the answer is:
dead
'not working' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'override a decision in part' is the wordplay.
'in part' indicates a hidden word.
'DEAD' can be found hidden inside 'override a decision'.
'that's' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dead that I've seen before include "Passed on" , "Gone to meet one's Maker" , "Pushing up the daisies" , "No longer living" , "Lookalike" .)
